Color Block Placemats

Back in September I was in Chattanooga at the AQS Quilt Show. It was a wonderful experience and my first time attending a quilt show. Plus, I got to spend a few days with my daughter. One of our 'gotta do's' was visit Spool. It's a really fabulous shop and Maddie (the owner) was a delight to meet! Super friendly environment.

One of my purchases was Pepper Cory's Peppered Cotton fabric. As soon as I saw the colors, I knew I had to have some! Gorgeous! The weight of this fabric surprised me. Very sturdy, rich, soft and touchable. This fabric is considered a shot cotton ~ the warp and weft are different colors.

I'm never sure what I will make when I buy fabric. It may sit for a while on a little shelf until an idea hits me. One day it did. I wanted to make some placemats with a modern design. After playing with ideas and making a practice piece, I settled on this design. A very simple design using rectangles.
